Shrimpys Blues Bistro

We're back! One of my favorite places when we're here in St Pete. Put a little South in your mouth.Lots of killer Cajun dishes to choose from, I've had almost all of them but the Shrimp & Grits are of my " go to" dishes. Ask to sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the Intercostal and maybe catch a sunset. The staff is chill and always quick.

Shrimpys is our fav!! We've been here a few times on our visits to st Pete and it never disappoints. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and the vibes are laid back and fun. We love the live music and watching the sunset from the back!The food is delicious as well. I've had the jambalaya, lobster bisque, multiple pastas, the gumbo, and the beignets. All was really good. The drinks are STRONG so beware!!

Great food - had the peel and eats which were the tastiest and most tender I have had in a long time! Also the grouper nuggets - so light and flaky. Music with @Dantodan was fabulous! My only ding is that the beignets were too doughy.Staff was fantastic too- we'll be back!

As a local I always want to support small locally owned businesses.I do want to say my server was amazing! She was very friendly & answered all our questions. When we first got to the restaurant I asked if it was possible to get a water front view. We came on a Monday right before 5pm. We were told there were not tables. However when we got to our table we saw there were actually tables,but you had to be a party of 6 to sit there. I found this odd & a bit annoying. It was not super busy & I did not see a rush of people trying to get these tables.I had the fettuccine with shrimp. I really liked my meal.Maybe if a better experience with the front of house I'd maybe give a higher review.

Really enjoyed dinner with my sisters at Shrimpys. The restaurant is right on the water and the screened in patio has a great view!The food was really good, I ordered the bacon wrapped bourbon shrimp with green beans and hush puppies and enjoyed everything.The service was friendly and prompt, highly recommend!

This is a really interesting place -- very much a mashup of New Orleans flair and Gasperilla pirate swagger (it's a Tampa/St Pete thing), it's a great place to take in the atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and they often have live music, so it feels very comfy. In my experience the brunch is the real star, offering a little twist on all the standard brunch-y fare. If you're in the St Pete Beach or Treasure Island area, you should pop in and check it out!

We went to Shrimpys after visiting Sunset Beach for the day. Shrimpys was only about 5 minutes away over the bridge. It looked like a great local hangout. They have a spacious indoor dining area, and a great, covered outdoor patio/bar area, too. We asked the host for an outdoor table. He asked if a table by the water would be okay. Um...yeah! Apparently, it was a football game day, so most people wanted to be near the bar/TVs. I mean, we could see the TVs from our awesome waterside table, though. And there was a decent breeze coming through. We were even greeted by a dolphin popping up once in awhile in the water right after we were seated. What a great welcome. They have a great menu with reasonably priced items, but they also had a football menu with a variety of appetizers and drink specials. We both ordered a cup of the Shrimp & Lobster Bisque to start. Wow. I could have eaten a giant bowl of that. It was so flavorful and creamy. I wanted something greasy and fried, but I ordered the Cobb salad instead. It did not disappoint. It was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic with so many toppings. Our server Kelley was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend Shrimpys to anyone visiting the area looking for a nice, casual, reasonably priced meal.

Good music, good drinks, great location.. fried green tomatoes and hush puppies made me think of my late grandmother! The negative was the oysters- they were visually off, and tasted worse. Manager that night wanted to argue about how fresh they were.. no thanks. We'll be back, hopefully to a better experience.

Love this place! Food is great. Service is great. Everyone is always so kind. Solid pricing and overall atmosphere is lovely. Will always come back when I'm in town!

Perfect spot overlooking the water. Live music was a bonus on a Thursday night. Grilled shrimp was great!
